Abstract
The current geographical distribution of Aedes aegypti in South America is dramatically expanding inside Argentina, reaching a wider distribution than during its early eradication in 1967. Simultaneously, cases of dengue have increased during the last few years, and the situation has been recently worsened by the confirmation of the presence of the different dengue serotypes simultaneously circulating in new regions. Here we report on the passive south-eastern dispersion of A. aegypti in Argentina.Fil: Díaz Nieto, Leonardo Martín. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
